TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The phrase uttered by Venture after he and Augustin realize they are lost (and says "We seemed to have misplaced the French army") is "mesh ma'ool" which is "unbelievable" in Arabic said in fairly good Egyptian dialect.

A leopard attacked Ben Daniels during filming, nearly breaking his neck. Daniels was saved by the leopard's trainer.

Renowned film critic Roger Ebert called this film "a brave folly of a film, easy to laugh at but deserving a certain respect if only because it involves such a foolish and difficult story."

Prior to filming, Ben Daniels spent some time with a Bedouin family in Wadi Rum, which is located in the southern area of Jordan, to develop a feel of the arid environment.

Lavinia Currier invested $5 million of her own money in the making of this film besides writing and producing.
